2009 年的最后一天

终于2009年的big projects已经忙完了。
看着我的blog history,2009 年的entries是最少的。可能越来越忙,没经历去blog.

回顾2009年:
1)我换了新工作。请我的人却在我上任的第四个月辞职了。但也因为他的离职我才有发挥的机会。
2)我的奶奶去世了。不好的回忆也没了。
3)我到了好多国家。柬埔寨、泰国、香港和美国。过境日本机场算不算?
4)我还是单身。。。但是还是有被爱的感觉。不寂寞。
5)我在教堂担任摄影师。摄影技术有变好了。可以用manual来拍了。照片也常被放在教会的网址。
6)2009年开始的时候,我说过要读完bible。有读啦,但没读完。。。
7)2009年写歌的愿望夭折了。我不会做melody,有歌词没有用。
8)看过的明星,郭富城、郑伊坚、林志玲和周杰伦。
9)我29岁了。明年就30了。是3头的人当中最年轻的。

2009年过得无悔。
2010年期待你的来临。

The bad memories are gone with her.

Today, most of the bad memories about her is finally gone with her.

My Ah Ma commented to the maid that she is tired and feels like sleeping when brushing teeth. The next minute, she lost conscious and turned cold. The maid alerted my dad who called me when I was still recovering from my flight back from Hong Kong in the wee hours of Sunday morning.

My brother and I ran to my Ah Ma's place two blocks away. She was already unconcious. I dialed 999 asking for assistance. But the stupid policeman asked me to call 995. Cannot transfer meh? Waste time. I held my Ah Ma's cold hands and kept on calling her, while waiting for the paramedics.

After a 10min wait, the paramedics are here. No pulse, no breathing. I went to the hospital with her. All along, me, the grandchild who has suffered the most under her mean ways was the only one with her at her deathbed. My brother and I were the only ones receiving the news of her death from the doctor. At that moment, my bad memories of her has left together with her spirit and soul.

I feel sad for this old woman whom I called Ah Ma. None of her children were around. Me who held her hands while she passes on didn't even shed a tear...

我小时候的志愿

你还记得小时候作文簿上写的志愿吗?是否跟现在的你不一样了?

小时候的我有很多志愿。电影看太多就想当职业杀手,把坏人干掉。但是因为杀手最终的下场是死或被抓,所以便把志愿换成导游。当导游不错嘛。可以出国看世界。过后就没有人再问我我的志愿了。

记得曾经有想过要在娱乐圈混。但是我并没有刻意的找机会进娱乐圈。所以大学时,我读了生物。还在动物园上班。最后却误打误撞地闯进了娱乐圈。

会不会是命中注定呢?无论怎样,总比当职业杀手强吧。

我原来也会被讨厌。

我一直以为自己的人缘很好,应该不会那么讨人厌。今天公司里的一个executive把自己的blog地址放上了msn。从我加入公司到现在,一直都是这个executive给我脸色看。我心里知道,她一直认为我不应该坐上这个职位。我好奇,便上她的blog看看。她真的讨厌我。我第一次看着别人写的那些辱骂我的字眼。她还认为我在背后捅她一刀,害她被老板骂。被讨厌,被冤枉的感觉真的不好受。
我到底错在哪里?我真的那么无能吗?我几时害她被老板骂了?老板每次问我对公司的人有何看法时,我都没提出她难相处的事。我没在她背后捅一刀啊!没有!没有!没有!

现在的心是酸的。就像酸溜溜的柠檬汁一滴一滴的滴进心里,慢慢被折磨。好希望来点淡而无味的白开水淡化柠檬汁。

咳。。。

有五月天,有你们的日子

一连看了两天五月天的演唱会,突然又好多感触。不只五月天陪伴了我10年,还有你们。
还记得我们一起在Jurong East bus interchange一起排队用bus tickets换取SBS的演唱会吗?当时,我们最想看的是刚出道的五月天。演唱会上,我们不管旁人,跟着五月天一起high起来。
五月天在新加坡的第一场售票演唱会,也是他们的告别演唱会。在读大学的我们还是一起排队,一起挥动手上的荧光帮,一起跟着台上卖力表演的五个大男生唱沙喉咙,一起为来不及开始就要告别的五月天说再见。那时也是我们几个告别了一起看五月天演唱会的日子。
现在的我们,用着自己的方式支持五月天。就连看演唱会都已经有了自己的伙伴。虽然做事的方式不一样了,但是我们的心还是没变。我们还是跟10年前的自己一样,为五月天撑腰,为彼此撑腰。
朋友,我们之间接下来的10年,一定要跟五月天一样,只会越来越强,哪有变弱的道理。

谈钱伤感情。。。真的

谈钱伤感情,是真的。

刚刚看完电影,妹sms来说妈妈骂她自私。她很生气所以在家后面的游乐场坐着。弟来接我的时候,说二姐一直骂他没用。所以感到很自卑,很难看。

这一切要从7个月前说起。。。弟想参加california fitness。我跟妹算了算,觉得很划算。比他一直去safra gym便宜。妹就决定帮弟先还。弟也答应每个月用打工的钱分期付款还给妹。怎么知道,弟打工的公司迟迟没有支付工资所以弟没办法还。妹从此就每个月唠叨他还钱。终于,妹决定每个星期从弟的零用钱里拿$10。一个月还$40。

但是不知道为什么,妹今天又吃错药,又开始唠叨。说她跟弟拿$10,为什么妈又给他$10。不公平。然后就接着说弟还欠她很多钱,害她每个月都没钱花。妈只好拿出$500现金给妹。妹在弟面前摇晃着$500现金,便说他没用。

过后大家都平静了。但是我那想太多的妈又从床上爬起来骂我妹自私。爸也跟着起床,也发脾气。想马上去上班(平时是凌晨1点)。爸总是爱说:“吵什么!不睡了。现在要去渔场。如果有什么意外,你们高兴啦!”然后就会气呼呼的在走廊抽烟。

我回来了。跟弟商量如何尽快把钱还给妹。还私邸下跟妹说她用语太重了,不应该跟弟说他没用。最后为了不要让妹一直唠叨,我决定帮弟还一笔钱。然后弟还我。妹就发脾气说我护着弟,说我骂她。我只是把弟还钱的对象改成我。

我那爱什么事都插一脚,袒护弟的妈,只会制造问题不会解决问题的爸,爱唠叨的妹,脾气坏的弟,还有不想介入争吵的我。最这样被钱夹在中间。

偶像剧

这几天不知道心血来潮,重新开了我以前看过的偶像剧。我喜欢那种有钱少爷爱上穷女生的情节。《换换爱》,《流行花园》,《命中注定我爱你》,《浪漫满屋》等等,都是我爱看的。每次的感动,都是我以旁观者的角度去感受的。有时候我会想象,如果我是女主角,我还会像此时此刻的我一样感动吗?应该不会吧。

有朋友叫我不要看太多偶像剧。看了会脱离现实。但是我认为偶像剧有一定的真实在里面。怎么说编剧也是人。他的想象力再丰富,也得从现实生活中取材。看偶像剧,我并没有奢望什么。只希望我有一个跟剧里的结局的恋爱,有情人终成眷属。~

累。。。但是满足。

真的好累。但是做得很开心。至少我开始有东西学了。虽然每天都要做到很晚才能睡,但是觉得很满足。希望这种感觉能够持久。

My First Speed Dating Dinner

Last night was my first speed dating dinner experience. It started on the right note. John was being very nice by picking me up from my workplace. He works in Mandai, drove all the way to Tai Seng Ave and then to Orchard. He even agreed to send me home after dinner. The rest of the night should go on well, I thought.
Speed Dating at Hans, Park Mall
We went in and were given our sticker numbers. Coincidently, John and I were placed on table G. Jeffery was sitting there having his dinner already. We had exactly 35min to finish our dinner. We took our orders. Food was yucky. Then Marianne came. She's a fun girl. The dinner for the four of us were great. We were the loudest group of four, laughing and chatting away, while the other tables the guys and girls were having a silent dinner.
The Merry-Go-Round
It's time for the guys to move around. As some of the guys came late, they had to bring their dinner plate around. The first guy came with a plate of spagetthi. The rest came with their coffee. Most left their cleared cups and plates on our table. :( The guys have to move around every 10min.
The Opening
1. The guys sit down and look at the number pasted on my left side of my dress, look down the list and pointed at me, "You are Maggie." and pointed at Marianne, "You are Marianne." Looks up and say, "Pleased to meet you."
2. The guys sit down and look at our number and used a pen to make a mark on the name to remind them how many tables to go.
3. The guys sit down and stick out the hand and self introduce themselves.
4. The guys sit down and said, "please introduce yourselves."
Self-introduction
Surprisingly, no one was interested in asking the age. The usual self-introduction contents are name and the occupation. But there were men who actually wrote down our occupation beside our names on the namelist.
Self-introduction was pretty boring after the 5th round. We started out saying more about what we do. First round, Marianne self-introduced,"I'm Marianne and I work in the treasury of a private company. I handle cash." Fifth round, "I'm Marianne." When asked about occupation, "Treasury". So we decided since we know each other's opening so well already, we will introduce each other. The guys were quite surprised with the change. I guess we did right.
The guys (you girls must be waiting for this right?)
I cannot remember their names but these are some of the memorable guys.
1. Jeffery: A nice chap who shared a dinner table with John, Marianne and I. He was quiet at first but joined in the fun after breaking the ice.
2. The medical trainer: He trains new doctors in paramedics skills like CPR and etc. He continued by sharing the morbid truth of the training of new doctors. John wants to get to know him. But I forgot his name.
3. The "dao" auditor: He looked very distant when we were sharing. His partner, also Edwin said that he doesn't need to do auditing. Just supervise.
4. NUS linguistic lecturer: A round chap with a happy face. He kept saying he has been to many countries. He plays the piano and had many recitals. He has an upcoming one in NUS. Remembered him cos of his accent. He's an Australian Chinese who was born in Taiwan.
5. The telephone number guy: After self-introduction, he says, "let's exchange numbers first." Marianne and I pai seh to say no, so we put down our number along with those of the previous numbers he has collected.
6. Malcom: Look like in mid twenties. I remembered him cos I might need freelance designer for work. So I tell him if I got lobang, will look for him.
7. The very tired auditor: Self intro "I am . I am an auditor, sorry, I am very tired, old already. You all carry on with self introduction." He is turning 30 in a few months time. See his sian face, I also sian. We were his last table, can't he just try to pull through with a smiling face?
8. Jerald, The Organizer of Speed Dating: He was very long winded. He kept saying, "please hold polite conversation and don't ask sensitive questions." The rest of his speech was dotted with,"blah blah blah SHHHHH blah blah SHHHHH blah blah be quiet, let me finish, SHHHH.....SHHH....." and he is probably talking at a speed of 10 words per sec.
9. The "dao" woman: She is not a man to deserve to be part of this list. But she happens to sit just behind me. I can't help but listen to her converstation. She did self intro and continues to talk about women status in society in the past and present. John was totally put off by her.
We are supposed to submit our paper to say whom we are interested in. My paper was blank. I ended up helping the Marianne see the numbers of the guys she is interested in. I have three numbers on my paper; guy number 5, the lecturer who has his number printed in the paper and Marianne's.
Girls, let's go together again. Actually quite fun if you want to experience and see different men within the short 3 hrs.

我一定要任命吗?

当初在动物园上班的时候,一直想出来看看世界。
读完了masters in marketing,我想学以致用。刚好marketing department有空缺。虽然只是executive position,我并不介意降低职位,只想开始我的事业的新篇章。我想marketing director提出我的想法,问她觉得我是否是适合的人选。她说会想想。几天后的一个晚上,marketing director 打电话给我。问我是否跟我的老板说了我的想法,如果还没,她会帮我说。我觉得为我老伴留点面子,我拒绝了。我说会自己向我的老板提出调职。
隔天我跟老板提出调职的意愿。但是老板却说:“你不可能会到marketing department当assistant manager的。跟何况你有没有marketing的经验,marketing director怎么会要请你。”我告诉她marketing director已经知道我想过去marketing department的事了,而且想跟她谈谈我调职的意愿。
再过几天后,老板说她跟marketing director和HR director谈过了。结论是“because there are many transferring going on now, it is not very healthy. so the transfer is not approved. furthermore, the marketing director wasn't very interested in having you either.”如果marketing director对我的调职没有兴趣,为什么要打电话to offer to speak to my boss?
就这样,我离开了动物园,找到了我以为是更好的工作。表面上salary 比较高,又是个marketing的工作。但是事实并非如此。开始新工作的第一个星期就后悔了。觉得离开动物园是一种错误。所以就这样过了将近3年。对娱乐圈产生了兴趣。
到了新的公司,现在的我并没有真正的开心。跟director谈了一下,她问我,“Do you have passion in this industry?”
我想了很久,对这个industry的确喜欢也很有兴趣。但是这份喜欢跟兴趣能变成热诚吗?Director说他知道我在旧公司的时候有一直想离开,跟他一样。但是他发现没有用,只好任命,乖乖屈服。用工作就做。我一定要跟他一样吗?

蟑螂不会长生不老术。。。

我一直说我是只打不死的蟑螂。但是也只不过是打不死。我这只蟑螂还没学会怎样长生不老呢。这几天我发现我有老化现象。已经没有当年的精力了。在一车的人里面,我年纪最大的可能性非常高。我好害怕我的想法会变得落伍。好害怕会有一天跟不上年轻人。有很多时候是心有余而力不足。咳。。。蟑螂始终会有死掉的一天。

我自己的时间越来越少。。。

在IF的时候,有时间回家跟父母吃饭,上gym做运动,跟siblings在家聊天和跟朋友出去玩。来SE的短短一个月,我的时间已不是我的了。几乎每天都工作到晚上8点多。但是i try to make it a point to work until 8pm latest。有几次7点回家就被公司的加班一族用异常的眼光瞪着我。我做错了什么?我的official下班时间是6点耶!

今天不知道为什么那么累。可能想念以前在IF的生活吧。好想念爸妈的脸,他们的声音。所以就打了电话跟他们聊了10分钟。那时已经7.30pm了。突然好想哭。这样的生活我还能承多久?现在我的工作多半都不是我拿手的。好多东西都要从新学习。好累。。。

我现在每天都告诉自己,“这只是一个过程,不是终点。终点一定会更好。”可能我熬过今年,工作熟悉了,会更好吧。

我是只打不死的蟑螂!

该放手了。。。

这是我正是在新公司SE上班一个月。一个月了。。。好快。在这里日子过得特别快。我已经有两个星期没有去gym了。其实有啦,一个星期一次咯。我的肚腩越来越大了。好恐怖。
今天COO, FT开玩笑的问我到底有没有努力,为什么director, SB还是晚上11点才回家,而我8,9点就能下班了。我看着COO的桌子不知道要怎么回答。SB是个不懂得let go的人。很多事情还要管。其实在他的level应该让我们这些底层的人管了。今天FT要我做一份report给一个overseas client。是一份很简单的报告。SB有所有的资料。当我跟他拿资料时做报告时,他却说不用我做,因为他比较熟悉资料,他做就可以了。我开玩笑的说:“你一定要让我帮你。不然FT又要说我没有帮你,让你没得早回。”SB给了我一个funny look。我笑了笑,走开了。
为什么他就是不肯放手呢?是不是不相信我?我已经不是3年前那个blur sotong了。FT跟SB都曾经在我的旧公司IF当过我一年的上司。刚好那个时候我还是个黄毛丫头,什么都不会。他们走了之后,我和伙伴还是承担了他们留下的responsibilities。可能SB还没甩掉我黄毛丫头的image吧。。。

我人生的不同角色。。。

今天又OT了。回家的路上,开始想我将近29年的人生。我发现我扮演的角色越来越多。有些角色做不好所以觉得有点惭愧。但是我每天都设法meet up to expectations.
我是妈妈的好帮手。。。
妈妈做不来的家务,我会帮忙做。煮饭、洗衣、打扫样样精通。
我是爸爸的乖女儿。。。
爸爸可以把家里的admin交给我。从来都不顶嘴。
我是弟妹的大姐。。。
当爸妈不在的时候,是唯一的支柱。不能有事难倒我。
我是老板的好助手。。。
可以为老板减轻工作负担。A problem solver.
我是属下的好老师。。。
我会帮属下develop themselves.
我是教会cell group的connect group leader
帮cell group leader处理admin的事。偶尔brainstorm一些点子让朋友完得开心。
我是photography ministry的ok女孩
只要是我做得到的,我一定做。
我是朋友的倾诉对象
我能帮朋友相通和看开。
我是大家眼中“打不死的蟑螂”
再怎么苦,我都会带着感激度过难关。永不言败。。。
想着想着,突然觉得好累。最后“我是我自己的。。。”我没有答案。我是我自己的什么?我的人生好像在位别人活着。这个list是不会完的。有一天我的角色会是老婆,妈妈,奶奶等等。越想越累。。。
你的角色是什么?

我人生的第一个马拉松

5月30日,午夜12点
我开始了我人生的第一个马拉松 Adidas Sundown Marathon。为了要实现在人生步入第30个年头前的一个挑战。完成一个马拉松。之前一直想要为马拉松做点准备。最后在起跑的那一刻,我只在家后面的公园跑了2公里。不知道我要凭什么完成这其他的40公里。

开跑了。还没看到1公里的标志,我已经累了。该停下来吗?别跑了,用走的吧,我心想。但是身边的每个人都在跑着,如果我用走的,好没面子哦!妹妹跑着就跑到前面了。只有弟弟还在我的旁边。 不知不觉,我们跑到了5公里的标志。看见很多人都慢下了脚步。有的开始走路。我想这些人一定是在conserve energy,我还是继续跑,到了后面就不会落得太后面。我当晚的终止就是不能是最后一个完成马拉松的人。不知不觉我跑了7公里。这时弟弟和妹妹已经不见了。我们各自挑战我们的极限。

前面的21公里大家都火力十足。多数用快走或慢跑。我凭着实力同样的完成了21公里。在21公里的标志后,我的实力已经到此结束,剩下的只有毅力。那时我的手脚已经肿起来了。鞋子变得很窄。脚趾好痛。那时的我变成了行尸走肉,已经不管脚有多痛,只顾着往前走。看见身旁挑战84公里的大叔还在走着(那时碰到大叔时,他已经跑了67公里了),如果我停下来真是太不应该了。一路走,看见很多参赛者在公园的椅子坐下来休息。我也好想坐但是没有位但是看见空椅子时又不敢坐,因为怕会慢别人。有几次我坐了,看着其他参赛者一个一个从我眼前走过,我总感觉离最后一名越来越近。到了30公里,我就不坐了。到了37公里,接到妹妹的电话,说弟弟应为旧伤复发在35公里休息,可能会放弃。在39公里,妹妹超越了我,也接到爸爸的来电,说弟弟已经在回家的途中了。好可惜,已经到了35公里了,之前的努力白费了。但是他还年轻,没必要为了一个马拉松而可能弄到自己以后行动不便吧。

40公里后,那种心情不知道怎么形容。自己离目标越来越近了。眼前就是终点,已经完成的妹妹在终点的旁边喊:“大姐加油。还有一点点。用跑的!”

5月31日早上8点10分,我把脚痛抛在脑后,铆足了全力冲向终点。过后拿着奖牌和finisher t-shirt,好感动。虽然要花钱,赠品不多,还搞到一身痛,但这一切是值得的。这次的马拉松让我更了解自己。了解自己对工作和自己的态度。

这绝对是一个实力和毅力并肩的学习战。

TRUST BETRAYED

As a Christian, I thought I could trust all children of God. But today, I was proven wrong. One of them betrayed my trust for her own benefit (I think). To J, I hope you really benefited from this betrayal. I hope what you have done has saved your skin and your job. However, I do not attribute this to religion. I still love my God. This incident is purely a character problem.
Here's the whole story (though disappointing it's funny)
Let's welcome the characters....
J aka The Betrayal
C aka The Daughter
A aka The President
Last week I hitched a ride on J's car. As J is a Christian, I've decided to share with her my impending decision, hopefully I get a Christian point of view. I told J that I've only told her and asked her to keep it a secret. She's not to tell even the boss' daughter, C.
J: Of course. I won't say. I encourage you to go for it. If not for C, I would have left.
Today A asked me to her room.
A: I'm talking to you as a Christian. I heard that someone has approached you.
Me: Where did you hear it from?
A: Please don't be angry with the person. J told C and asked C not to tell me. But C had to tell me but asked me not to tell you.
Me: I am not angry. I am just disappointed that I have trusted the wrong person.
A: Please don't tell J that you know C and me know already.
The trust of 3 people betrayed. I am not going to tell on A. I'll just keep quiet until the whole thing is over. By then maybe it is no longer important.

有时没得选择是好的。。。

很多人会埋怨自己被逼到一个死角,没得选择。自己在做的事是情非得以的。但是事情做久了也就习惯了。慢慢得进入舒服,慵懒的状态。就在这个时候,选择慢慢浮现了。自己就会开始和现状和可能之间挣扎,纠缠。害怕保持现状会一成不变,害怕选择可能会自讨没趣。担心失去现状会百感交集,担心错过可能会后悔莫及。

是你会怎么选择?

如果一切重来。。。

有些事自己明明不喜欢但还是会做。
有些事明明做了也没意义但还是会做。
有些事明明做了知道会后悔但还是会做。
有些事明明知道是被利用但还是会做。
不了解为什么自己会去做这些事。
很多时候做了便自己对自己失望。
如果一切重来我还会去做这些事吗?
不做的结局会是怎样?
我一定就会喜欢那样的结局吗?
可能事情做多了便会喜欢呢?
可能事情真正的意义我还没摸清呢?
可能事情做了后悔是一种教训呢?
可能事情做了是互相利用呢?
我还会希望一切重来吗?
我这样的结局算好吗?

我生平第一次打999。。。

29 March 2009

昨天帮妈妈买的衣服有问题,所以回到Metro换。脚好痛。一定是昨天在gym跑步的时候扭伤的。换了衣服,便马上到Hereen前面的巴士站等车。巴不得马上能到家。好热哦!太好了,荧光屏显示我的巴士还有5分钟就到了。

突然有个漂亮的妇女走过来对我说:“会讲中文吗?”我点了点头,以为她是迷路的中国游客。妇女说:“我的孩子不见了。他上了前面那辆巴士。但我没看清楚巴士的号码。你能帮我吗?”我一时傻住了。天啊,我自己也不知道该做什么。我打了给transit link求助。然后决定打给警察。拨999的时候紧张死了。我要跟警察说什么?这是我生平第一次打给警察嘞。警察让我们在巴士站等他们。妇女的眼眶红了。我拍拍她的肩膀,妇女哭了。为了安抚她,我问了她一些问题,帮她分心。原来是倍读妈妈。孩子8岁。刚到新加坡2星期。他们是苏州人。不愧苏州出美女。

两位警察终于到了,问了几个问题,打了几通电话。突然妇女的电话响了。原来是儿子打来的。儿子说有路人把他带回酒店。那是又两名警察来到现场。好多路人都看着了我们。好像呐喊,“我没有犯法。我是好人na!”

带着妇女找德士,我的脚好像不痛了。走得很快。看着妇女上了德士,我功成身退。走回巴士站等车。这时脚又痛了。。。

Metro Sale Survival Tips

28 March, 2009

Today is Metro sale from 6pm - 11pm. I have a few items to buy. My mom's clothings, my mom's shoes, Clarins cosmetics and Clinque skincare. Today's sale is slightly different there is an additional 10% discount on top of the usual 20% discount during sale. The cashier's queue has started at 5.30pm. Here's some survival tips that I have learnt.

1. Get a man to stand in the queue while you shop. By the time you're done shopping, it's your time to pay.

2. Decline having your cosmetics being placed at the cashier of your choice (Metro cosmetic section usually puts your chosen items at the cashier that you will be making your payment. They will give you a coupon to redeem your products.) During sale, the cashier usually turns up in a mess and the cashiers usually can't find your things. With your items in hand, you can choose the cashier will the shortest queue.

3. Don't queue at the cosmetics level. Try going to the women's clothings department or the men's department to pay. The queues are much shorter there.

I finish my shopping at 7pm. With 45min spent in the queue...

我回来了!

快要一个月了。我的柬埔寨4天3夜游的blog终于完成了。开始了blog才发现有好多人想到柬埔寨却不知从哪里开始计划。朋友和妹妹的朋友看了blog都觉得资料蛮仔细的。至少多数的重点都有了。突然有种想法。可能我可以做个travel journalist。帮杂志写travelogue。哈哈哈!想太多。。。

最近很容易疲累。连到gym的力气都没有。想到要运动就想睡觉。天啊!这样下去,我不肥死才怪。

我是个贪心的女人。。。

我自认自己对衣食住行不阔气,但也不贪心。但是我对工作和自己的发展却是个十足的贪心女人。我对工作就像是在吃自助餐一样。什么都想咬一口,怕输,怕吃不到好东西。就算盘子满到事物露出来了,我还打死不让别人碰。我宁愿被撑死也不愿把盘中的任何一样我未尝过的食物拱手让人。

如果我说只是因为我爱学习,应该太虚伪了。没错,我是喜欢学东西啦。但是另一个贪心的原因是我喜欢被“需要”的感觉。虽然工作繁重,有时发发牢骚,但是这种被需要的感觉让我很快乐。不知道是不是我天性就是这样,还是后天的教育所造成的。 也有可能因为我在家中是大姐,所以习惯被托付很多责任。或许我喜欢自找罪受吧。

现在工作算不错,但还能进步。老板给了我很多工作。虽然薪水没加,但是对我而言还不算是个大问题。有时当老板把一份工作让给我,我表面会埋怨一下,但心里却在暗爽。有时工作太难搞,做到要哭了,想放弃,心里却害怕如果放弃,机会就等于拱手让人。就这样我每次都硬着头皮把事做完。有几次老板把我的工作分配给我的同事,我的心理酸酸的。我到底是怎样啊!我快被自己气死了啦!

花样男子回来了!

我最近又开始了我的韩剧风潮。这次是《花样男子》,韩国版。简称F4回来了。这次是4个韩国的美男子。

《花样男子》有好多版。我读了漫画,看了日本动画版,台湾《流星花园》,日本《花样男子》和最新的韩国《花样男子》。韩国的只播到第12集,一半了。台湾和日本版一样,男生只有花泽类好看。韩国版是四个都美咯。

真的佩服那些帮我们这些粉丝做字幕翻译的粉丝。韩国9点播放,凌晨3点我们就能在网上看到了。我想大家都颇不期待的想一直看下去吧。真是佩服他们。也感谢他们我才能享受好剧。

Kousuke Atari 中孝介 《夏夕空》

我喜欢的歌。听了有点伤感。可能是中孝介的歌声加上犹豫的音乐吧。第一次听这首歌是在看日本动画,《夏日友人帐》是听得。那是这首歌只是片尾曲。只有一分钟长。终于有完整版。

如果你有看《海角7号》,中孝介就事演唱会的日本特别嘉宾。边弹钢琴,边用他那特殊的歌声唱歌。好感动。

朋友听听看吧!

Na Si Wa Wu Jit Ba Ban

从小就一直听到大人唱着首歌“如果我有一百万”。但是我自己从来没有好好的想过如果我真的有一百万,我该如何处置这笔钱。这次突然有心情想想这个可能性。可能是因为朋友们都信心满满。还约好了星期一到Selegie去拿奖金。

如果我有一百万:
1。买condo,然后租出去。
2。买lens for我的相机。为我的50mm lens添“哥哥”和“姐姐”。
3。去diving。Sipadan我来了。
4。带家人一起出国。
5。投资弟弟的生意。
6。投资股票。

哇,想太多。。。不知道一百万够不够。
“发财”的呐喊。。。HUAT AH!

好玩!

昨天cycle之前什么都没吃。这是我昨天的第一餐(3pm才吃)。。。世上最好吃得nuggets。那在手中,我的口水直流。颇不期待的想把它们送入口中。好吃!






我们cycle到frog farm。看见两种田鸡。有mating的,还有打架的。我和TSC好像是kaypoh的记者,在那里猛拍。TSC 还做了一小段的现场报道。以上是本报记者CSK所拍下的照片。


我们也到了牛场。但是没有牛奶喝。。。


等待TSC所谓的lamp post 30号。。。
痛苦的感觉,就是美丽的来临。。。 希望这次有瘦到。





还是植物好拍。。。

这些照片用Canon Powershot S2拍的。

这个应该是lily吧。。。
















屁股好痛。。。但是心很温暖。。。



好久没有cycle了。昨天和PSN & TSC一起去cycle。说要为Desaru做准备。借了TSA的脚车,椅子没有cushion的。屁股一定很痛。
这次的cycling trip让我好感动。我看到了朋友的关心。PSN 和TSC 知道我对cycling好有一点恐惧。决定好好的“保护”我。TSC 是我们的领队。PSN最在我后面看着我。全程只听见她们两个一直喊“加油!”。Cycle到后面,我的屁股真的好痛,PSN把自己的bicycle cushion借给我。相信她的屁股也痛吧。感动。。。我的两个好朋友的背影。。。谢了朋友。












My first studio shoot (me as photographer)

21 Jan 2009

I went for my first studio shoot with me as the photographer. My greatest obstacle is to teach the models to pose. The models are not professional ones so need to teach. But it's the blind leading the blind. In the end, I told the models to treat me like I'm invisible. I will treat them like the subjects in church. Hahaha. I didn't make use of the studio lighting. I was shooting the process while the professional photographer is shooting.

These pictures are taken with a Canon 30D with 50mm lens.


This model swung the scarf more than 10 times for jus to acheive this effect. I took this picture while standing at the back of the main photographer. Of course his pictures turn out prettier. I'm very fortunate to be able to take one like this.

She is a mother of two and still look so pretty! Her big eyes are a draw. Doesn't she look like a Malaysian actress? Li Xinjie...


This is a happy model. She is always smiling. Her photos are taken with a smile because she looks better with a smile. This was taken when we told her that her shooting is over and she can take a rest. Happy....

These are two of the other photographers who like me are experiencing studio photography for the first time.

What a way to start my day...

I am now an airport waiting for the cast and director of AWEW to arrive. Super sleepy now. I regret playing psp last night. Laying pipes and solving puzzles. In the end, I could not sleep. Pipes were swimming in my mind. I was on full alert state. When I finally fell asleep, I had a bad dream. I dreamt that my dad has passed away and I woke up in tears. I'm super sleepy but mind is still awake. Feels like a battered body and a sound mind. Tired...

从好朋友变成普通朋友

今天我的一位15年的好朋友注册结婚了。她人生最重要的一刻。好想当场祝贺她,但是没机会了。我今天才知道这个喜讯,还是从另外一个朋友的口中知道的。为她高兴的当儿,我也感到一点遗憾。我们15年的好姐妹情却完全克服不了她的“不好意思”告诉我们。我想我们已不是从前的好朋友。也许做普通朋友,对彼此的责任也不会太重。我们对这份友谊有一份责任,我们都没有把自己的本分做好,才有今天的局面。

我在想其他人会不会觉得自己没被通知而感到难过。也许这是第二次发生在我身上吧。另一个好朋友生孩子的前一个星期,我才知道她怀孕了。我还在她结婚时当她的姐妹。

我们15年前说要当一辈子的姐妹,我想我们的愿望可能会胎死腹中了。。。

要打起十二分精神

随着我的上司的离职,我的工作量越来越大,责任也越来越大。是件好事。还记得2008年初,我手上的工作很少。还有工作被同事抢走。最后还要沦落到帮那位抢我工作的同事作其他工作。从project的负责人,成为project的小角色。当时只是觉得自己被欺负但不敢出声。
上帝是公平的。我的默默耕耘有了成果。我那个不怕吃亏,愿意多做的mentality真有效。我连shit work都愿意做。我到处跟同事说"If you need help, let me know. I can help."不知不觉,我的portfolio越来越大。先在虽然还是不能独当一面,但是我知道自己成长了不少。我了解了一件事。少做未必是件好事,多做未必是件坏事。只要在做事的时候学到东西,那就没有白做。

还在等着breakthrough的来临。。。

感谢上帝,感谢五月天《五月天新歌飚唱会》

1月4日 Stadium Green 《五月天新歌飚唱会》

本来以为没有希望看五月天表演了,一直告诉自己要看开一点。没想到受到上帝的眷顾,让我侥幸地得到一张入场券。也要感谢Celine那么慷慨,把多余的票捐出来。好兴奋!

五月天《后青春期的诗》让我有很多感触。五月天是我大学时期的“精神粮食”。他们陪着我走过我的青春期。八年前我们和五月天一起狂跳,呐喊,摇滚。八年后的今天,我的后青春期的人生阶段,我还是以前的我,一起和五月天一起狂跳,呐喊,摇滚。 虽然今时今日的我已经跳得不比以前高,喊到破音,但是我内心的五月天摇滚式心情变得越来越强。看到他们,就好像是看到老朋友。

感谢五月天陪着我度过我的青春期。我的后青春期也少不了你。加油!

2009年的愿望

2009年的第18分钟。脑子有点一盘散沙,根本无法集中今年要做的事。去年的该做的事都还没做完。真逊!

展望我的2009年:
1)减肥,减肥,减肥。。。(我一定要赢得那$100)
2)加强我的写作能力
3)加强我的法文,至少要读完一本法文故事书。(去年才读了2页)
4)把圣经读完
5)70% of 我拍的照片都能用
6)嘴巴要收敛一点

就这样。不要给自己太多压力。以上该做的事应该够了。朋友们,如果你看到我的entry,请时时提醒我。加油!
